How do you know that this drive is hdb if you dont see a listing under /dev?
Try: ls /dev/hd* to see what's listed there. Or if it';s recognized as
SCSI look under /dev/sd*

Try 'sudo fdisk /dev/hdb' or use gparted or qtparted to write a
partition table to that drive, divide it up, then get it formatted.
